Re: Times you bit your tongue

[herpymcderp]

At a lounge with coworkers the other day, and they got off on a tangent about the militarization of young men... replete with claims like "no one over 30 joins the military" and that it "preys on uneducated youth".

My SO is attempting to join the military, and she's a 33 year old woman with a Master's. I just was like "welp" and decided I should pick my battles, preferably at a moment when everyone wasn't a little drunk.

Sometimes I wish I could have joined the military. But some of my earliest memories are of my mom crying and begging my brother to not re-up, and I let that really effect my choices in life. And now I'm too fat (and probably too opinionated) and almost too old to do it.

Never too late, anon. If that's your dream and you've got a special skillset, you're probably more likely to be accepted than you think.

Sadly, I have no special skillsets, will be 33 next month and am so so far from approaching fitness standards, I think it's a ship that sailed. But thanks for the encouragement! :)

100% chance she's going to be a
P O G

What MOS?

Re: Times you bit your tongue

[herpymcderp]

lol obviously. She's headed into bioscience if she clears PT and medical.

Ariakas is your SO?!

I occasionally toy with the idea of going reserves. I've got the skill set to get one of the more interesting postings, and it'd let me explore that constant wonder of what life would be like if I suceeded in joining as per my original career intention.

p.s. life and career tip. When you're a little drunk is always the best time to have challenging conversations.

Not with my coworkers, really. They trend heavily and passionate toward the animal rights side of veganism, and being academics the only way to argue with them safely is totally sober with facts and research.

Which I appreciate, don't get me wrong.

Re: Times you bit your tongue

[ill_omened]

Haha. Memories. The person most against me trying to go military back in the day was my militant vegan worked in academia before getting paid to run meta studies aunt.

Re: Times you bit your tongue

[herpymcderp]

To be fair, this is far from the first time that I've looked around a table and thought to myself, "I'm really not liberal enough for this crowd."

It's a tough lot lol.

Re: Times you bit your tongue

[(Anonymous)]

Ugh. I have a lot of thoughts on the military, but she clearly hasn't done her research. If you are going to criticize something (and there are legit criticisms of the military), do your research and know what you are talking about.

Re: Times you bit your tongue

[herpymcderp]

Hahaa my coworkers are mostly male, actually. Cool stereotypes.

Re: Times you bit your tongue

[(Anonymous)]

Sorry. I misread the women in your comment and didn't notice that it was your SO. I thought you were talking about the coworker as a woman.

Re: Times you bit your tongue

[herpymcderp]

Yeah, that's the opposite of what I actually wrote lol.
